Not Dead Yet

Eight days down and three more to go in this 11 day stretch of working open to close. Well, that explains the lack of writing, anyway. I haven’t had time to do much of anything else, either, but I’ve got so much to write about that by the time I have time to do it, it’ll be old news that I won’t feel like writing about. Never thought I’d call to cancel a job interview, though, but I’m glad I did as my last several short-lived employments were spur of the moment “oh snap, someone might actually want to hire me!?” deals, and so was this. The position I sent my resume in for was filled, so I mentioned another position that they had advertised, word passed along, called back by the big boss, and was completely uncomfortable with the way the conversation was going. Set up an interview for that night (last night), thought on it for a few hours til my next break, and called him back.

That was a hell of a long sentence. Anyway, my finances for this month are nowhere near in order. Bribe money from the govmint is still nowhere to be found (and according to their website, has not been scheduled yet either), paycheck on Friday for I don’t know how much (spreadsheet says 670 but I suspect closer to 550… just a totally random guess, too), rent’s due in a few days, as is CU loan payment, AES payment… god knows what else, I haven’t been able to check my mail in 8 or 9 days due to the PO’s crappy lobby hours along with my complete lack of organization due to lack of time (or lack of using it wisely) and the fear of what I might find.

In any case, I’m going to make the rent priority, as the landlord was pretty pissed off at everyone earlier this month for being a week+ late. Last thing I need to worry about right now is a place to live, even if I don’t care for the one I’ve got. My days have consisted of work, take an exorbitant amount of time to get home for whatever reason, sit around on the computer catching up on very few RSS feeds (mostly just the comics as they’re quick to read), scan through the inbox to see if there’s anything actually personal or important, fail to bother cleaning out all the garbage I never read when I do have the time, hit some forums, realize it’s suddenly midnight (or 1, or 2), go to bed, wake up not early enough, not care about how late I woke up, sit on computer doing all the things I did last night, realize I should’ve left 10 minutes ago and I’m not even dressed yet, freak out getting dressed real quick, speed like hell to work, arrive anywhere from 10 minutes early to 10 minutes late (usually with absolutely no reason for which way it goes – example, this morning a 2-3 mile stretch of 22 was one lane for paving, yet I managed to get there, finish my smoke, grab grub & coffee, go to my stand, and clock in right on time… however, for some reason I felt that by clocking in on time for once, I had actually wasted time I could have spent getting more food or whatever, and those days I do get there plenty early, I’ve actually clocked in quite late by some semi-purposeful mismanagement of time or otherwise thinking “oh god, I’m back here to do it all over again, gimme a break”), repeat.

My sentence structure still needs work. But I haven’t the time! I don’t even have time to shave my head, which is terribly overdue (and greasy and generally uncomfortably gross) and was in my plans for the last three nights after getting home from work. SOAB!!!

P.S. No, you can’t cancel your cable service through a live support chat, dipstick. But it is as easy as calling 1-800-COMCAST and telling them you’re poor as hell (which were the exact words I used, yes). Thankfully, her only retention attempt was asking if there was any way she could change my mind, I was expecting to be bombarded with offers right away. And no, Comcast, if you send me a “final bill,” I won’t pay it. This shit is paid in advance, remember? We learned that in my wonderful “Comcast Sucks” post. See ya.

And yes, I’m currently watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force on my cable that has yet to cease working (wonder how long it’ll take… wonder if it’ll keep working, like after the last tenant left).
